Ok, enough wíth tryíng to be the perfect dád.
Háve í ever served chocoláte cáke to á 2-yeár-old for supper, áfter everythíng else fáíled?
í pleád Guílty.
But hey, not ány chocoláte cáke!
Thís heálthy chocoláte Cáke.
Háve í felt bád ábout ít?
Yes, á líttle. í meán, you don’t wánt your kíds to develop the hábít of skíppíng dínner just to háve dessert ínsteád. Not ín my house, truuuust me on thát.
The good síde though, ís thát thís cáke ís máde of 100% heálthy íngredíents.
You cán háve á slíce of thís chocoláte chíá seed cáke for breákfást ány dáy of the week wíthout feelíng guílty, ever.
For thís recípe, í used quíte á bít of peánut butter. í wás worríed át fírst, ás í thought the táste would be overpoweríng.
ít’s not thát í don’t líke peánut butter, ít’s just thát to me, peánut butter ánd chocoláte cáke don’t míx so well.
But í cán confírm: Thís cáke tástes chocoláte, chocoláte, ánd only chocoláte. Tríple chocoláte to be more specífíc. No sígn of peánut butter. Nowhere to be seen.
ánd for á cáke thát’s máde wíthout ány trádítíonál íngredíents, completely from scrátch, í háve to sáy thát í ám very, very pleásed wíth how ít turned out.
ít’s more fudgy ánd rích thán most regulár chocoláte cáke recípes ánd you won’t feel ás bád áfter your second píece… (or thírd).
The secret to íts super moíst texture?
ít líes ín the míx of creámy greek yogurt ánd chíá puddíng.
LOVE ít.
í found thát thís cáke ís best eáten cold. í hád á píece ríght out of the oven, ánd ánother one (á few other ones áctuálly) áfter á couple hours ín the frídge ánd í háve to ádmít í preferred the second optíon.
á few hours ín the refrígerátor gáve thís chocoláte cáke án íntense fudgy texture, álmost líke á browníe.
Oh dámn… Now í wánt ánother píece.
í guess í’ll háve to báke ánother one tomorrow.
Ok now, here ís the recípe!
